Question: Hi, I would like to thank you for all the help you offer and all the responses to all my questions that I have been posted. Thank you again. My question is in regards to thoughts. I have read somewhere that demons cannot read our minds? That they have studied human throughout centuries, and therefore can expect a type a behavior, when these tempt someone, or harass someone... I am dealing with spiritual warfare, from being involved in occult and its false religion. well, sometimes, I hear, names or teachings from that specific religion repeating itself in my mind. Even to the point where there is doubt about my faith in GOD. I know that these spirits demons, are harassing me, but I continue to push through even If I may feel not motivated enough. I used to get freaked out, but now learning to use what I have been learning in the bible, as well as pleading the blood of Christ, stating this out loud. I also do this as well as when I feel this burning feeling on my neck that comes and goes.... I guess I am fed up with, my situation and trying to learn to put on the full armor of god and not let this get the best of me.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), CCL, LTh, DD, LNDC Dear Josefina: Perseverance is the key to the Christian life in general and certain is the key to overcoming demonic harassments. The devil does not want to let go of you and will do what he can to get you back into the occult, and baring that, to at least make you miserable. Resist him and he shall flee the Bible tells us, but we cannot predict when he will flee. The is were perseverance comes in. Continue the good fight, remain faithful, and eventually the devil will flee. On how to do this, I would advise going through the Seven Steps to Self-deliverance, linked below, plus using prayers from our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, also linked below. The Hedge Prayer of Protection should be prayed daily. There is also a prayer to Control Thoughts that can be prayed as often as you need. Then there is the Rebuking Particular Spirit. Pray this Rebuking prayer daily and then each and every time some intrusive thought comes to you pray a shortened version such as: I rebuke this thought and the spirit behind it. Father in heaven cast away these thoughts and spirits. Give me only thoughts that are pleasing to You. Cast away from me this spirit of _______. Deliver me Lord. Amen. If intrusive thoughts come to you 50 times a day, then you must rebuke that spirit 50 times a day. Also, try to redirect your mind elsewhere. Repeat "Hail Mary," for example, over and over again until the intrusive thoughts go away. Hail Mary is all that is needed but you can recite the whole prayer if you wish. The idea is to occupy your mind with something else. Do not let the devil to seduce you into being fed up. That is what he wants. Rather, turn this around and make this harassment an opportunity for spiritual growth. Thank God that he is allowing you to suffer. Join your suffering with that of Christ's for the salvation of souls. In this way you steal the devil's thunder and make it a blessing to others and to yourself. God will give you many graces for this. We will be praying for you. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
